CAUTION!

An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always
remove the Key Fob from vehicle, cycle the ignition
OFF with Keyless Enter-N-Go, and lock all doors
when leaving the vehicle unattended.

Key-In-Ignition Reminder

NOTE:

The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds

when the Key Fob is placed in the OFF or ACC ignition

position.
If your vehicle is equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,

opening the driver’s door when the vehicle’s ignition

switch is placed in ACC or ON/RUN (engine stopped)

will cause the reminder chime to sound. Refer to “Start-

ing Procedures” in “Starting And Operating” for further

SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key௡ Immobilizer System prevents unauthor-

ized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The

system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation

is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked

The system uses a Key Fob with factory-mated Remote

Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and Wireless Ignition

Node (WIN) to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation.

Therefore, only Key Fobs that are programmed to the

system will shut the engine off in two seconds if an

invalid Key Fob is used to start the engine.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON/RUN posi-
